I like your timing for an Ike interview, Doc. Non-believers shall be humbled and tremble on their knees, henceforth and posthaste becoming new subscribers. I was worried about an early termination of the 10-13 week cycle, but, nooooo, I shall worry no longer! For I have seen the power and the glory of those fangled voodoo cmaps!

I also think da Boyz went heavy on puts for this Options expiration as opposed to calls the previous two expirations. It also wouldn't surprise me if they wrote calls at the same time. Bully is in for a surprise!

Anthony caused pearls to be dissolved in wine to drink the health of Cleopatra; Sir Richard Whittington was as foolishly magnificent in an entertainment to King Henry V; and Sir Thomas Gresham drank a diamond, dissolved in wine, to the health of Queen Elizabeth, when she opened the Royal Exchange; but the breakfast of this roguish Dutchman was as splendid as either. He had an advantage, too, over his wasteful predecessors: their gems did not improve the taste or the wholesomeness of their wine, while his tulip was quite delicious with his red herring.here

Just got done listening to your interview with Ike, it was excellent as usual. Par for the course for our Chief Stoolie. I got a lot out of your comments on the ROC indicators too. I wasn't too clear on this in the past.

You're a helluva of a technician Doc, can't wait to get Hursts book I ordered last week.

...A declining spenglerian carnival of Colossaalism united with Inflation where the numbers one through 10 are forever banished as worthless arithmetical detritus from a bygone age... - Beardrech

Naturally we believe the govt numbers... and Boobus Americanus sleepwalks off the edge of the energy-crisis cliff clutching his shares of "Crisco", Yoohoo and GooGah munching on his Yum Yums and Ho Hos. Future historians will have a hell of a time figuring out what the hell Americanus neanderthalus was thinking and exactly what brought on his sudden demise... - Henny Penny

Somebody should tell Ike that he has forgotten to put the last chart on his site. At the end of the interview, Doc talks about the mortgage bubble - but the respective chart he's referring to (of the Mogauge Bonkers Ass; we've seen it in the Anals) is missing from the aegeancapital.com site.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.

A good family friend of ours owns the largest Land & Title business in our area. Over cocktails and dinner at the new P.F. Changs on Wednesday, I asked how business has been. She told me the RE-FI's have been tremendous all year, and hadn't noticed much of a slowdown in recent months. Of course, my follow-up was, how about after the rate cut? She reiterated, business was steady, plenty of people taking equity out too. I asked her about business real estate, she said take a drive down town and take a good look.

Well, this is what this Stoolie did yesterday. The whole downtown area is littered with "For Sale or Lease" signs. I couldn't believe how bad it was. Two Large buildings were boarded up and for sale as well.

I'm believing the business real estate bubble has bursted for some time now, and housing is going to follow shortly. I guess my question, which I put out to my fellow stoolies is, if we successfully inflate, how will farm properties fair with a rise in Commodities? I do own some farming properties, they have been depressed about as long as gold.

This is another reason why I like Doc and his charts, the MoGuage is a winner. Not to mention the Feedometer.

You have a point there Doc...IT puts my printer to work, but I have an HP 1100 LaserJet, that spits em out pretty fast.

I'm heading off to the Monthly collectors(numismatic) show, will report on how busy the bourse floor was, it has been picking up steam in recent months, after the week we've had, I would imagine it could be real busy. I'm getting there early.
